Of course, the other problem is that if the categories can't be listed / selected then people cannot add their details to them.
They go into the category in order to submit to it.

Paul,
That seems to work OK by going through the categories and adding. Is the issue something that can be fixed in a later release though? I can imagine that most people would automatically want to go to the add a link page.

Maybe the number can be pushed up a little, we'll see. Still quite impractical to navigate such a list though. Maybe it'd be better to come up with a two-stage list where the submitter first chooses a top level category, and then gets presented with the list of subcategories for that, and then the subcategories of the selection there, and so on.

That sounds like a good option. Is it something that could be implemented? LMK if it would need to be a private job. It wouldn't be so much for navigation but more as a tool for the people wishing to add their sites is what I am thinking.

I'd like to do something like that eventually, but considering how busy I am (no end of the to-do list in sight) it won't be until 4.2 (which is maybe 8-12 months off) unless it's paid as a custom project. It'd probably run 3 hours.
